Consider the fact that just 11 men namely;
-1). Paul Kagame of Rwanda (23 years),
-2). Paul Biya of Cameroons (42 years),
-3). Teodoro Mbasogo of Equitorial Guinea (43 years),
-4). Dennis Nguesso of Congo (38 years),
-5). Isias Afwerki of Eritrea (30 years),

-6). Yoweri Museveni of Uganda (37years),
-7). Alhassan Outtara of Ivory Coast (13 years),
-8 ). Gnassingbe Eyadema of Togo (38 years),
-9). His son Faure Eyadema of Togo (18 years),

-10). Omar Bongo of Gabon (42 years) and his son Ali Bongo of Gabon (14 years) collectively ruled different African countries for a total of 347 years in the name of democracy! This is what can best be described as AFRICA WONDER!

Ngwaanu! ECOWAS and the AU make una answer now. The fuse have long been lighted. The triggers of these coup frenzy? Legalisation of illegitimacy and unconstitutionality have given rise to it. Lawlessness begat lawlessness. Illegality begat Illegality.Anarchy, lawlessness and unconstitutionality reign supremely where there is no rule of law

This one surprises me.

Alhassan Outtara of Ivory Coast (13 years),

Considering how he got into power. He's doing exactly what Gbagbo did. Sit tight by any means.

Democracy is alien to Africa

The Government we know and understand is Monarchy. Thats why our leaders find it hard to leave the throne, and pass it on to their children.

Plus the largesse of government is too sweet to give up. Even Obasanjo tried his best, but una spoil am

Africa's Democratic dictators should know that they can't continue to have their way forever. Military coups against them will now be viewed as legitimate.

FFK is really trying hard to make sense these days. Unfortunately, it's too late.

While other African countries use one system of family grabbing power method ......

Nigeria is using the CABAL approach method where few decides and syphon the national cake and also controls the fate of a country as against 200milion People .....

In as much as I’m not in support of dictatorship but FFK should have also dig deep about the system of government they are practicing, the party system and government components.
Only Nigeria and Ghana are democratically exposed and such democratically controlled entities will not survive beyond 8 years. Even when OBJ tried 3rd term agenda, we all know how Datti and Yari Gandi of blessed memory fight it to the end. So don’t use this comparison without juxtaposing the system in entire Africa
